I am a provider of expert advice and assistance in the fields of sustainable energy and climate change mitigation. I can help with all aspects of implementing a carbon and energy project or programme from policy development through to delivery, including:

Projects

I lead Kāpiti Coast District Council to become the first CEMARS (ISO-14064) certified local authority in NZ, contributing to over a 75% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions and effectively its managing energy and use costs.

I was project co-ordinator for the Wellington Electricity EV Charging Trial which analysed the impact of home EV charging on the electricity grid using real usage data from EV owners’ homes, and a control group. It also examined EV owner’s views on ways to manage the impact and vehicle-to-grid technology.

In the UK, I developed and helped implement planning policies requiring high standards for insulation and other sustainability measures to be installed in new-build homes and existing homes when they were extended.

Highly commended in the 2006 UK National Energy Efficiency Awards.

Working with people of all ages, community groups and businesses I co-ordinated a display of a ‘low carbon’ Kāpiti Coast in the year 2025 made of Lego to help illustrate how we might meet the challenge of climate change.

Working as a teaching fellow at Otago University, I developed and taught courses on building physics, energy policy and energy auditing. I created the University of Otago Energy Studies online weather data display.
